Mr. Middleton is a professional, and a good one. I'm glad he has offered his insights. I am more of a short term investor, although I have had good luck picking long-termers in the last 2 years. (I can't take all the credit, with the Dow up from about 5600 3 years ago.) One thing I think we can agree on here; stay away from the OTC BB. Mr. Middleton: what areas of the technology marketplace do you think will be least effected by any corrections in the next 6 months, how badly do you think the Japanese economy will fail, and what future warning signs should we be aware of with the tech stocks/Japanese economy?

Reginald, You nailed it hard. The only DUMB questions are the ones that don't get asked. If you can't find it, SI is the place to find someone who can. lee

How much importance do the other investors here place on insider buying or selling? I like to see heavy insider buying. I think it's one good way to at least identify some potential investment ideas. I subscribe to the Insider Trading site and found some heavy insider buying in Medaphis(MEDA) recently: biz.yahoo.com Interestingly enough there was some discussion about high book values here tonight too. This stock actually sells below book value. Does that make it a good value? Not necessarily, but the heavy insider buying would indicate that they feel it is, and that means something. Anytime an investor can buy at prices below a large group of insiders you are doing well. It might take six months but generally you will make money. Heavy insider buying is one way to help find a good potential investment. Regards, Jeff
